web hosting

by Mike Leo

Sorry to ask again, but someone recommended a web hosting company and I've lost that email. Someone named the "guinea pig" recommended a place that used VMWare so thatI could have full root access... If you could remind me of who that was, I'd appreciate it! Mike

JOB: Software migration opportunity

by Andy Stewart

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 HI gang, Dave Cardalino from Cimtec, Inc. is looking for a person to help with a software migration project. If you are interested, please reply directly to him at DCardalino(a)aol.com, or via the supplied telephone number. ===== Andy, I was referred to you by Carl Silvia. He and I work together at Cimtec Inc. We have a software application that runs on Unix. We are looking to migrate our application to Linux. Carl says that you may be able to point us in a direction or answer some questions I may have. We currently use SCO Openserver Ver. 5.0.7. We also use SCO Openserver Enterprise Edition Ver. 5.0.7. We actually load up a computer with the SCO platform, then we load our Application Software (HVAC) to run on top of it. Since Unix and Linux are a form of each other, we believe the migration is very possible and not extremely intensive. I have contacted Red Hat and they said that the migration can be done. I am looking to seek other sources as well. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank You, Dave Cardalino Cimtec Inc. 978-532-7102 ===== - -- Andy Stewart, Founder Worcester Linux Users' Group (http://www.wlug.org) Chelmsford Linux Meetup Group (http://linux.meetup.com/393) Amateur Radio: KB1OIQ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHNE3+Hl0iXDssISsRAr2tAJ9/IBKAddruTEVLY2BGuWgZf6XTfwCfZbb/ /t0LuxY/eciC+DgzN8S2s+8= =4oQ3 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Nothing in the instructions say whether it puts a load on or not. I changed my video card, because the fan was making noise, and all reboots since then have been ok. No blank screens. Before, it was about 1/4 of the time. I did have one lockup since changing the vid card, and I think I read somewhere that it could be a result of using a realtime kernel. (someone correct me if I'm wrong.) I was doing a lot at once when it happened. Guess I have to experiment with it some more and look inside the psu. Greg

I don't think it'll tell you if one of the voltage lines goes low under load or something. If it doesn't pass those tests, though, you'll know it's bad. Also, open the PS case and look for leaking capacitors. If you find any leakage, then you know you have a problem. I would just throw out the PS at that point, but you could probably replace the capacitors. -- Rich P.S.: I mean to post an update to my screen-blanking-while-watching-movies problem. I'll catch up with that later.

reboot problem

by Gregory Avedissian

At the meeting before last, I asked about a problem I'm having with the computer occasionally going to a black screen with no disk activity on reboot, right after the grub menu goes away. Overnight memtest showed no errors, I put a different vid card in, and still had the black screen problem. One of the things someone mentioned was to test the power supply. Recently, I had a few hard lockups and a couple of spontaneous reboots. So, how do I test my power supply, other than replacing it and seeing if the problem goes away? Or is that evidence enough to change it ASAP? According to lm-sensors, voltages are fine, and I've even sat and watched gkrellm for long periods of time - they look stable. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Greg
